I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Providence (Portland, OR) in Jan 2012
Interview
Providence uses a typical behavioral interview process: “Think of a time when ...”. Being OK with working for a Catholic health care system is one question (Note: Providence hires and values all people of goodwill with a commitment to compassionate care, regardless of religious background or affiliation). Committing to the Mission and values is of critical importance in the interview and — trust me — you won't be happy at Providence if you don't have this commitment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
